Central Florida cheap eats

Puruse Athena's chicken-centric menu carefully - there are plenty of deals to be had at this Mediterranean eatery.

Athena’s pita wraps are under $6, making these enormous meals a steal. If you’re feeling more chicken, might I suggest ordering half the bird (with an option of pita or roll) for $5.49? Save some for later.

Banh Mi Nha Trang is well-hidden in an alcove of shops along Colonial Drive in Orlando's Mills 50 District. This hole-in-the-wall cafe doesn't look like much, but it serves up a lot flavor. Banh Mi means sandwich in Vietnamese, but typically refers to a sandwich. A perfectly toasted baguette - crisp on the outside, fluffy on the inside - is stuffed with your choice of meat along with pickled vegetables and cilantro.
